$400 Million is missing from the City of Beaumont. The City has never listed Capital Assets on their Financial Statements because the City Staff and Council misused/embezzled all the money and has no Capital Assets to record.

Beaumont’s 2017 Audited Financial Statements lists $414,959,273 in Capital Assets, but the City can not produce the list of Capital Assets. A Public Records’ Request was submitted in June, but the City refuses to produce the list of Capital Assets.

At the Audit and Finance Committee Meeting I asked for the List of Capital Assets and was told by Don McDougal, the Consultant that was paid to produce the list of Capital Assets: “You’re never going to see it”.

So I asked the Committee Member if they had a copy of the list of Capital Assets and not one of them had seen a copy of the list – so what were they supposed to ‘receive and file’?

Mayor Nancy Carroll called a recess then cancels the rest of the Meeting because their trusted Staff that work so hard and do such a good job can’t produce the document the Committee was supposed to ‘receive and file’.

Nancy Carroll tried to make it appear as if shutting down the Meeting was retaliation to me, but shutting down the Meeting before they approved that forged 3rd version of the 2017 Audit didn’t hurt my feelings and didn’t solve their problems, it just kicked the can down the road.

The S.E.C. requires the Audit and Finance Committee to approve the Audits, so it has to go back on the Agenda. The City is required to to file it on EMMA, but it has to follow S.E.C. Laws.

And I have no idea how they thought they were going to ‘receive and file’ a document without the ‘receive’ part. Were the Committee Members expected to vote on something without even being able to glance at it?

McDougal then threatened me: “You’ll hear from my Lawyer”.

That’s a good ideal. Let’s get this forged Capital Asset Report and forged Audit documented in Court Records.
